    I own a 2010 prius. After putting 10k miles on it, i have yet to see the 50+ mpg. I could have easily bought a honda civic, saved $15,000+ and still gotten 38mpg. I have taken the car to the dealership on a few occasions and they cannot tell me why i have lost almost 20mpg. All they can tell me is that it is probably the gas that i am using. I can see how this might make a slight difference like 3-4mpg, but not 20!…

    I was on a trip to arizona and when driving in my 2010 prius from flagstaff to phoenix during the evening, the batter display's top segment glowed red many times in the descent from flagstaff. It was a very difficult to drive to keep the top segment from turning red as the vehicle was coasting and i did not want to exceed the speed limit so i really did not now what to do. I decided to shift to neutral so the engine…

    I own a 2010 toyota prius, 3rd generation. When i am braking and hit a pothole or a manhole cover, the car surges forward. I took it to the dealership today and they checked the car and said they couldn't find anything wrong with it. They also said they had no knowledge of any kind of braking or surging problems with this vehicle. Our dealer was eastern shore toyota in daphne, al. This has happened approximately 6…
